- Story Text: French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne named living costs as the government's top priority as she set up the roadmap for the new government on Friday (May 27).
In a brief inaugural address last week, Borne said that the country needed to act "faster and stronger" to fight climate change and pledged to further work to protect the French's purchasing power, the No. 1 voter concern according to polls.
French President Emmanuel Macron picked former Labour Minister Borne as his new prime minister in preparations for legislative elections in June - only the second time in 30 years that a woman has got the job.
